Paul J. Smith (born September 8, 1931) is an arts administrator, curator, and artist living in New York. Director Emeritus of the Museum of Arts and Design (formerly the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, 1956–1979, and the American Craft Museum, 1979–2002〔"Museum History," Museum of Arts & Design, http://madmuseum.org/about/history. Accessed September 14, 2013.〕), Smith has been professionally involved with the art, craft, and design fields since the early 1950s and is closely associated with the twentieth-century "studio craft movement" in the United States. He joined the staff of the American Craftsmen’s Council (ACC, now the American Craft Council) in 1957, and was appointed Director of the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in 1963.〔“About the Council: Our History,” American Craft Council, http://craftcouncil.org/history.

== Early years and education ==
Raised in Bennington, New York, Smith graduated from Attica High School in 1948 and attended the Art Institute of Buffalo, where he received a scholarship and studied with local artists who served as faculty members, including Charles Burchfield and James Vullo. With an interest in exploring craft skills, he took courses at the local Buffalo YWCA craft program, where he later taught ceramic classes. He also took a few classes at the School for American Craftsmen (now the School for American Crafts) at the Rochester Institute of Technology; this interest led to his membership in the organization Buffalo Craftsmen, where he served as president in 1962, and his active involvement with York State Craftsmen, a state organization that held an annual craft fair in Ithaca, New York.
He took a position in the display department of the Flint & Kent department store in 1953, and was appointed Display Director there in 1955.〔A brief overview of Smith's early career can be found in Glenn Adamson, “Gatherings: Creating the Studio Craft Movement,” in Jeannine Falino, ed., Crafting Modernism: Midcentury American Art and Design (New York: Abrams; Museum of Arts and Design, 2011), p. 41, as well as a biographical entry in the same text, p. 311–12. Fuller documentation exists at the ACC Library archives and in the Paul J. Smith Papers, 1955–2011 at the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; see http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/paul-j-smith-papers-11572.〕
